[RESOLVED] setting item properties with values of a variable at design time?

[adshocker]

hi,

is it possible to set a value of an item, for example: a textbox1.text = Empty.String at design time?

thanks.

Just delete the default Text. Voila! Empty string.

hi,

forgot to mention that i want to do this in the properties window instead of writing the codes.

thanks.

hi,

actually String.Empty was just an example. i'm planning on using other variables like Now(), My.Settings.SomeValue etc..

thanks.

You can only set the Text property itself to a literal string. You can use the (ApplicationSettings) property to bind the Text or other properties to My.Settings or the (DataBindings) property to bind to other data sources but anything else would require code.
